Browner had the chance to stop a TD, he chose to not care about team needs. No where in any of that can you say that ST chose not to care about team needs, no where. ST picked out someone that could have possibly made the tackle and blocked him. Browner picked out a blocker behind the play and blocked a blocker. That makes sense for a 3-4 NT who is trying to clear the way for a LB, but that is not the play for Browner. There is nothing about that that made sense football wise. Browner didnt contribute to the play at all from a Saints perspective.

The play for Browner was to tackle the ball carrier, there is no other play there for him from a football perspective. He ignored that and went for bragging rights. The play for ST was to block someone that potentially could have made the tackle, he did just that.
Like I said above, you are using hindsight to justify what Taylor and Browner couldn't have know at the time. (Whether the runner would slow or not) Taylor could have blocked someone ahead of the runner, he chose instead to get a good running start and nail an opponent head-on. On Browner's play if Jones slows down, Long is a factor as a blocker.

I think we are going to disagree on this no matter what. I do think it's hypocritical to think Taylor's hit is good and Browner's bad.
